To find the volume of the composite figure, we need to find the volume of both the rectangular prism and the cube, and then add them together.

Volume of the rectangular prism:
Volume = length x width x height
Volume = 11 inches x 3 inches x 4 inches
Volume = 132 cubic inches

Volume of the cube:
Volume = side length x side length x side length
Volume = 3 inches x 3 inches x 3 inches
Volume = 27 cubic inches

Total volume of the composite figure:
Total volume = volume of rectangular prism + volume of cube
Total volume = 132 cubic inches + 27 cubic inches
Total volume = 159 cubic inches

Therefore, the volume of the composite figure is 159 cubic inches.
